WAR PICTURES FROM WWII

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is not just a movie with a long title, it also inspired me to come up with the following doctored reports from WWII. This is just for fun and does not suggest any disrespect for war vetereans, nor Gundam... enjoy.

AMIENS- The stalemate on the western front took a swing against the Allies with the emergence of Nazi war machines assuming the forms of gigantic robots. Armed with guns equivalent to a mobile artillery unit and towering at 30 feet, these one-man-operated robots termed Mobile Suits (MS) crushed tanks and pill boxes with a single step. Casualty number in Amiens is still uncertain but according to sources, at least 500 allied troops had perished in the onslaught which started at 0645 hours. - AFP

LONDON - Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced the activation of the hitherto secretive Gundam project with unanimous support from parliament. "We cannot sit by and watch the sons of England wiped out by Hitler's machines... the Gundam unit is the only way." said the PM. To date, 50 Gundam Mobile Suit (MS) units had been despatched to major war fronts to curb the Nazi advance.- BBC
